Defined in header <vector>
template<class Allocator>
class vector<bool, Allocator>;

std::vector<bool> is a possibly space-efficient specialization of std::vector for the type bool.

The manner in which std::vector<bool> is made space efficient (as well as whether it is optimized at all) is implementation defined. One potential optimization involves coalescing vector elements such that each element occupies a single bit instead of sizeof(bool) bytes.

std::vector<bool> behaves similarly to std::vector, but in order to be space efficient, it:

  • Does not necessarily store its elements as a contiguous array.
  • Exposes class std::vector<bool>::reference as a method of accessing individual bits. In particular, objects of this class are returned by operator[] by value.
  • Does not use std::allocator_traits::construct to construct bit values.
  • Does not guarantee that different elements in the same container can be modified concurrently by different threads.

Notes

If the size of the bitset is known at compile time, std::bitset may be used, which offers a richer set of member functions. In addition, boost::dynamic_bitset exists as an alternative to std::vector<bool>.

Since its representation may be optimized, std::vector<bool> does not necessarily meet all Container or SequenceContainer requirements. For example, because std::vector<bool>::iterator is implementation-defined, it may not satisfy the LegacyForwardIterator requirement. Use of algorithms such as std::search that require LegacyForwardIterators may result in either compile-time or run-time errors.

The Boost.Container version of vector does not specialize for bool.
